Ingredients
 

  • 500g beef (ribeye, top sirloin, or other tender cuts)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 250g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Add the beef strips and sauté until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter if needed. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are tender.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring well to coat.
  • Gradually add the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • If using brandy or white wine, add it now and let it cook for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
  • Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing until the sauce is smooth.. Add paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Return the beef to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the beef is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, pasta, or rice.

Notes

Choose the Right Beef Cut

  • Use tender cuts like ribeye, top sirloin, or tenderloin for the best texture. These cuts cook quickly and stay juicy. Slice the beef against the grain to keep it tender.

2. Sear the Beef Properly

  • Sauté the beef over medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan. This helps to get a nice sear and keeps the meat from steaming. Brown the meat in batches if needed, then set it aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.

3. Get the Perfect Sauce Consistency

  • Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms, stirring well to coat them evenly. Gradually add the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. This step is essential for a smooth, thickened sauce.

4. Avoid Curds in the Sauce

  • If you're using sour cream or Greek yogurt, add it at the end and keep the heat low to prevent curdling. This keeps the sauce smooth and creamy.
